Katy Perry’s new video is a cameo-rich romp.

SEE

"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" Why watch Katy Perry’s latest video, a debauched, eight-minute version of the typical, coming-of-age ’80s movie? The cameos, of course. Corey Feldman, Rebecca Black and Hanson? Believe it.

The Tree of Life Weekly critic Mike D’Angelo says “no mere description can possibly convey the singular experience of watching” Terrence Malick’s new film, so you’ll just have to check it out for yourself. Regal Village Square.
